With the distance between them, it was impossible for Alana to hear what the bodyguard was saying to Roman. But she couldn’t help but grow curious when Roman suddenly smirked and chuckled, like he found whatever the man had said to be incredibly hilarious.

"Clear our bill. I'll handle Miss Haze," Roman instructed his bodyguard, who nodded in affirmation.

"We're leaving, Alana," Roman said to her as he rose from his seat with as much grace as one would expect.

    Music still echoed faintly from the main hall as Roman stepped back inside. The celebration continued without him, but his mind had already shifted homeward.Julian caught up to him near his bedroom door, clapping a firm hand on his shoulder.“You really are leaving in two days,” Julian said, his voice carrying a mix of respect and reluctant acceptance. “The men are still singing your praises. You brought order back faster than any of us expected.”Roman nodded once, his expression unreadable.“The job is done. Control is restored. There is no reason to linger around here.”Julian studied him for a long moment. “This life still calls to you. I see it in the way you handle things. Marena still wants you here.”"We both know she wants me here for her own personal feelings." A faint, cold smile touched Roman’s lips. “My real life is waiting in New York. Do not let things slip again once I am gone.”“Understood, brother.” Julian offered his hand, and they clasped forearms in the old way.

    Glasses clinked together as Julian poured generous measures of whiskey and picked up the four filled glasses. He walked over to the men seated around the round table, Roman among them.“To taking back everything,” Julian declared, placing the first glass in front of one man, who nodded and raised it at once.“To reminding those fuckers who the top dog is.” He set the next glass down and took a satisfied sip, a sharp smile playing on his lips, before handing one to Roman. “And to my excellent older brother.”Roman accepted the glass, his expression steady.Julian gave the final one to the last man and returned to pour another for himself.“A toast for all our hard work this past month. In only a month, my brother has proven that nobody messes with us. We have everything back under control. Business is running as usual, and all our enemies have been put down. Raise your glasses with me.”The other members of the syndicate lifted their drinks in unison.“A toast to my brother for all the

    Her eyes dropped to the files, scanning each name. “I am asking how many shares you hold, Mr Kuznetsov.” she pressed again.“Um.. about 1.2 percent,” he responded, straightening in his chair, uncomfortably.“Okay." Alana focused on the others at the table. "If there are no more questions, I would like to address the board properly now. As the new chairwoman, I will respect the existing management system of this company and enforce changes where necessary. I noticed that the company’s overall revenue has declined by twenty-five percent over the last five years. Why is that?”She looked around the table expectantly. One shareholder cleared his throat. “You would have to ask the previous chairwoman, Miss Ashford,” he answered politely.“I see. So you are telling me the board was unable to question the fact that our revenue had dropped and that company funds were being spent on lavish personal expenses?” she challenged. “It seems none of you truly care about the shares you hold in this c

    Alana sat across from her mother in the lawyer’s office, the weight of the moment settling over her like a long waited victory finally within her grasp. “That should be all. Please sign here, Mrs. Gates,” the lawyer instructed politely, sliding the documents over to Stephanie. Stephanie took the documents, scanned them carefully, and signed her name with a flourish. She slid the papers across the table toward Alana. “You would also need to sign here, Mrs. Ashford.” the lawyer instructed. Alana raised her gaze briefly, confirming her mother’s signature before adding her own with smooth flick and movement of her wrist, while her fingers gripped the pen. A small sense of relief washed through her. “It is official,” the lawyer announced. “All shares from Mrs. Stephanie Gates have been transferred to Alana Gates. You are now the new Chairwoman of Flamme Jewelry & Diamonds. Congratulations, Ms. Ashford.”Alana offered the lawyer a warm, genuine smile. “Thank you for completing the proc

    Alana decided to visit her aunt Rosalind that afternoon. It had been over a month since they last saw each other. The moment Rosalind came down from her room and saw her niece, her eyes welled with tears. She pulled Alana into a tight, heartfelt embrace, holding her as if afraid she might vanish again.“My dear, sweet girl,” Rosalind whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “I’ve missed you so much.”Alana hugged her back warmly, feeling a comforting sense of home in her aunt’s arms. Once they settled in the cozy living room, Alana shared her news with a soft smile. “I got married, Aunt Rosalie. To Roman Ashford.”Rosalie’s face lit up with pure joy, her hands clapping together in delight. “Ryan explained the situation to me. That’s wonderful! But why didn’t you invite me to the wedding, darling?”“It was a flash marriage,” Alana explained gently. “We wanted something private and quick. There simply wasn’t time for invitations or a big celebration.”Rosalind didn’t fully understand

    Roman had left the country two days earlier. On Monday morning, Alana met with her newly appointed lawyer, recommended by Roman himself. Over the weekend, she had called and texted her mother, arranging a meeting to finalize the transfer of shares as well as position of chairwoman in of her father’s company. This time, Alana had chosen the venue: Roman’s penthouse, which now felt like hers by right of marriage.“Would you like me to bring anything, ma’am? Water, perhaps?” Emily, the new housekeeper, asked nervously as she passed by.Alana lifted her head from the file she was reviewing and offered the young woman a warm smile. “I’m fine, thank you.”She glanced across the table at her lawyer. “Mrs. Dandridge, anything for you?”“No, thank you. I’m quite alright,” the lawyer replied with a calm, professional smile.Emily slipped away quietly. Alana checked her watch again. Her mother was already ten minutes late, as usual. When the doorbell finally rang, Alana rose from her seat.“Th

    He hadn’t made any significant moves yet, but he had started with subtle hints, probably testing the waters first to see how serious he was about Alana or if she was just a brief plaything like the others.Roman was certain the only reason Damien was taking his time was due to Alana’s prominent fam

    "That asshat! Maybe it would have been better if Ryan had hit him harder, right in his face, that stupid face of his," she muttered to herself as she walked to the bedroom room.She shut the door, leaning her back against it and shutting her eyes for a few seconds as a tired sigh escaped her lips.

    Sighing, Ryan turned back. "It was one of my men... I'll handle it myself," he replied, his voice low but audible enough for Roman to hear.Silence fell between the two men, Roman saying nothing in response to Ryan's words.Finally, he glanced over his shoulder at Ryan. "You better," he said, his
